Chapter 13271 Treasure "Body Outside the Body"

At this point, Cheng Shifei's tone revealed a hint of respect and gratitude. He continued:

"The Soul Clan warrior I'm talking about is the descendant of the Demon Soul King, and one of the Soul Clan members who did not betray the Demon Sect. She fought alongside us, facing the Soul Clan's pursuit and the Soul Suppression House's siege. Unfortunately, in order to save us, she eventually fell into the hands of the Soul Suppression House, and is still enduring endless torture in the Soul Purgatory."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but feel a surge of indignation and sympathy. He frowned, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness: "You...didn't you try to save her?" There was a hint of urgency and expectation in his voice, hoping to hear a positive answer from Cheng Shifei.

"Why haven't you thought about it?" Cheng Shifei frowned, with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his tone.

"But we can't save her. The people guarding her are from the Soul-Suppressing Palace. We can't even destroy the Soul Clan, so how can we fight against the Soul-Suppressing Palace? You know, the Soul-Suppressing Palace is many times more powerful than the Demon-Suppressing Palace. The difference is simply like heaven and earth. Compared with them, we are like an ant trying to shake a tree. We are powerless."

Ling Xiao clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force. As a demon cultivator, he was filled with unspeakable indignation and anxiety.

He knew that he was indebted to the Demon Soul King. This debt was like a heavy responsibility that weighed on his heart, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent to the suffering of the Demon Soul King's descendants. His eyes flashed with a determined light, which was a desire for power.

"I came here this time to tell you that the Soul Clan is much more powerful than you think. They are not just ghostly beings that exist in legends. They possess wisdom and power that we can hardly imagine. Therefore, you must become stronger, stronger enough to contend with those seemingly invincible enemies."

As Cheng Shifei spoke, he slowly took out a treasure that was gleaming with a faint light from his arms. He introduced it with a serious look:
"This treasure is called 'Body Outside the Body'. It was left by the powerful soul clan member who stepped forward in times of crisis and saved all of us. Only those with strong soul power can harness its power.

Although Master Fuzun and I have high cultivation bases, our soul powers are not that good, so we cannot really use it. As far as I know, this treasure is extremely rare among the soul clan, and ordinary people cannot even touch it. "

"Only you," Cheng Shifei's eyes revealed a trace of expectation and trust, "I heard that not only have you improved your cultivation, but you also have extraordinary talent and attainments in soul magic. Therefore, I specially took it and gave it to you."

Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the treasure called "Body Outside the Body". It was shaped like an exquisite human-shaped pendant, made entirely of unknown materials. It exuded a warm and soft luster, as if it contained some ancient and mysterious power.

Every detail of the pendant is carved so lifelike that it looks like a miniature version of a real person, which makes people imagine endlessly.

Faint fluctuations of soul power flowed on its surface, like a breeze blowing across the water, causing ripples that were breathtakingly beautiful.

"This...what's the use of this?" Ling Xiao's voice trembled slightly, both out of awe for this treasure and curiosity about its effects.

He stretched out his hand and carefully took the "body outside his body". When his fingertips touched the warm surface, a warm and subtle energy seemed to flow along his meridians, which made his heart tremble and he felt an unprecedented wonderful experience.

"In short, the function of the external body is to use one's own soul power to condense an external incarnation that is completely independent of the original body." There was a hint of awe in Cheng Shifei's voice, as if he was telling an ancient and mysterious legend.

"According to the last words of that soul clan warrior, the terrifying thing about this outer body is that it can perform all the soul techniques that the original body can perform, and its power has not diminished at all. It is like another living you, possessing the same skills and strength as you."

Ling Xiao listened to Cheng Shifei's story, his eyes flashing with irrepressible shock and desire.

He seemed to be able to imagine that in future battles, there would be a figure exactly like himself beside him, and together they would perform powerful soul techniques. How spectacular and powerful that would be.

His breathing inadvertently became rapid, his chest heaved, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

“However,” Cheng Shifei’s tone paused slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, “This treasure is not without limitations.

First of all, the realm limit of the external body it condenses is the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm, which means that no matter how your original body cultivation improves, the strength of your external body will stop here.

Furthermore, although the outer body is strong, once it is injured in battle, the damage will be directly fed back to the soul of the main body. It can be said to be a double-edged sword and must be used with caution. "

At this point, Cheng Shifei's gaze became unusually deep, as if reminding Ling Xiao that although this power was strong, it also came with huge risks.

He hopes Ling Xiao can understand that a truly strong person is not only about how powerful one is, but also about how to use that power wisely to protect himself and others.

There was no disappointment on Ling Xiao's face. On the contrary, his eyes were shining with understanding and expectation.

Although this treasure is heaven-defying, if it is really unlimited, it would be unreasonable and too illusory. He knows very well that everything in the world has its own laws, and power and price often coexist. This is an unchanging truth between heaven and earth.

Ling Xiao was not too upset about the restriction of "peak of the heavenly realm". Because, although his current cultivation was at the peak of the Immortal Realm, with his profound background and unique cultivation method, his strength had already surpassed that of ordinary low-level heavenly realm masters.

This means that even if the upper limit of the realm of the external body is the peak of the heavenly realm, it does not pose too much of a restriction for Ling Xiao.

He even began to look forward to the moment when he truly reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Man Realm, and the astonishing power that his external body would unleash, and how terrifying and long its effect and duration would be.

As for the fact that the injury to the outer body would cause damage to the soul of the main body, Ling Xiao didn't care at all. He raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

He knew that he was good at the Holy Mark Formation, which was a magical skill that could communicate with heaven and earth and borrow the power of nature. With his attainments in the formation, it was easy for him to protect his body from harm.

With just a thought, you can set up heavy defenses, making the body outside of your body feel like it is surrounded by a solid wall of steel, impenetrable to all attacks.
